"I need to get my shit together"
Stay still. Hold space for seasons in between. Hold space for seasons of burnout. It's okay to be idle. There's no deadline to getting your shit together, you shouldn't pressure yourself. Because pressuring yourself into getting it together is counterintuitive. You are human, you can only do so much.
(post inspired by Brie and Marissa, from the With Love, Always Podcast ♡)
PODCAST EP NUGGETS:
1. you're not any less loved when you're not showing up at your full capacity.
2. you're still human at the end of the day, you can only do so much.
3. allow your "best of the day" be the best of the day. don't compare yourself to yourself during a burnout season. if this is your full capacity right now, let it be what it is.
>>>> if you love yourself enough that you don't compare yourself to other people, you should also love yourself enough to let seasons be seasons. you don't have to compare yourself to other versions of yourself. they weren't going through what you're going through right now. they weren't feeling how you're feeling. let july be july, and august be august. ♡
— you are in the right place at the right time. you are on the right path, trust your angels. you are being supported on both the physical and non physical realms 🧿
today's the last day of school, so i'm grateful for, (and very proud of) all of the work i put in the past semester (and the past year). i'm very grateful for finishing the difficult year alive and well. i'm also grateful for time. i have more time these past few days, now that the semester's over, i've had more time to sleep, exercise, and do things i love.
Daily Gratitude
July 4, 2023
Welcome to my gratitude support group! All are welcome to be a part of the gratitude crew. Re-blog, write a note or send an ask as often as makes sense for you (just once, every day, twice a year, a few times a month— doesn’t matter!)
I tag some of the crew several times a week. If you’d like to be on the tag list let me know.
All posts will be tagged ‘resiliencewithin’s daily gratitude group’.
Prompt (if you want): Something you are proud of (big or small).

The other day I was in the shower and I was thinking about things I could write about when I want to motivate myself or give myself a confidence boost. These are some of the ideas I came up with and I think they could be really beneficial and encouraging.
While thinking about these things, you may begin to doubt yourself or compare yourself to other people, but I’m telling you right now: DON’T DO THAT. It does not matter how big or small you think these things are. These prompts are meant to generate big and small reminders of how dope you are :)
1. What are 10 (or more) things you like about yourself?
2. What things do you want to do or try that can help you feel good about yourself? For example, I’ve been considering trying out individual lashes and recently started looking into LHR. Also, going to the gym even if it’s just for a walk on the treadmill. Literally, if you go once a week for fun just do something.
3. Think about some of your accomplishments in recent years. Describe them to your younger self and imagine how they would feel.
4. What are 10 (or more) things that you like about your life?
5. What are your energy givers? The big and small things that you do that make you feel joy? I loveee my yoga mat. I can lay on it, do nothing, and be happy. It’s that simple. Also washing my face in the morning :)
I want to EMPHASIZE that these things can be simple, everyday things. Do it for yourself without comparing yourself to other people. This is for you and you onlyyy.
How to get your life together : a guide
1) Make a list of goals you want to achieve, if you don’t you’re going to forget about them. It could be yearly goals, it could be monthly goals or both (even better). Just write them down and put them somewhere you can see them every day. Also don’t forget about the smart rule :
Specific (simple, sensible, significant).
Measurable (meaningful, motivating).
Achievable (agreed, attainable).
Relevant (reasonable, realistic and resourced, results-based).
Time bound (time-based, time limited, time/cost limited, timely, time-sensitive).
2) Choose habits which will lead your towards your goals. You want to be a the top of your class ? Start by actually completing your homework, assignments and by paying attention in class. You want strong and healthy hair ? Stop using heat every day and start a hair care routine. Yes, it is that simple trust me.
3) Starts adding those habits to your daily life and be realistic. For exemple, if you want to achieve your dream body starts exercising and eat healthy. You want to keep those achievable and enjoyable : if you used to never step away from your couch for too long, you are not going to exercise 5 times a week right away. Start small, start with maybe twice a week and then add more when you feel ready.
4) Stop making excuses. You cannot reach your goals if you find excuses to stay home and do nothing such as « I will start on Monday » or « I am a bit tired today so I’ll just rest ». Don’t, if you really are motivated you will start right now and won’t skip your workout. The less you do, the less you wanna do.
5) Remind yourself why you wanna reach those goals and motivate yourself. You cannot solely rely on motivation, you have to create it yourself. Make vision boards of you dream life and ask yourself why you want to get out of your actual situation. If you already feel miserable and lazy in your every day life it won’t hurt to at least try, right ?
6) Enjoy the steps. That one is the most important. If you feel like completing a workout is torture, you will last a week or two tops. If doing your skin care or a daily walk feels boring, you will stop doing it. Try making those interesting by watching a movie or listening a podcast at the same time, find a workout you’re actually able to enjoy.
7) Finally : enjoy your results. If you’ve kept up the work for months, even weeks you will see them. People will start praising you about your hair, your skin… You will be able to see those changes yourself when you look at your body or at your grades. You will also be more confident because when you decide to put in the work and get results, you will be so proud of yourself I can assure you that.

Happy to co-host Gojo NSFW Week 2023! Come join us on Twitter!
Out of all the things you thought you would be doing this year, your head in the toilet bowl as you puke your guts out was the last thing you thought you’d be doing. You’re definitely past the heavy drinking stage, and you definitely weren’t expecting to get pregnant. With twins nonetheless. You liked it better when you were puking thinking you were just sick– Now technically you’ll be sick for nine months. Of course you’re a few months along so it’s a little less than nine months but you aren’t exactly thinking of that.
When you finally can stand up, you walk to your bed and lay down on your bed, an exasperated sigh leaving your lips. You still have so much time left to go and you’re so tired of everything.
It’s a Sunday morning. Sundays are the only day of the week that you get to lay down and relax– And it isn’t every Sunday either. So it’s fair to say that you’re extremely annoyed when you hear your phone ring. And when you see your secretary’s name on your phone you find yourself even more irritated. You still end up picking up the phone,
“This better be good.” You say as you answer the phone. You don’t have much energy to deal with him, or anyone for that matter. You have lunch with your parents, and you have to save up the little energy to deal with them– And to also deal with the fact that you have to announce your pregnancy.
Two weeks after your last meetup with them, when you found out about your pregnancy, your father is sending messages about you starting to focus on something else. Of course you’re annoyed. But you realize you have to tell them the news about your pregnancy before he threatens to give your position to someone else. While bringing the issue up to the board would be absurd, he’s very influential and everyone else respects him a little too much for your liking.
“Don’t you think we should discuss this a little bit more–” He begins and you swear you nearly see your brain from how far back you roll your eyes. Discussing your future plans is the last thing you want to do right at this moment.
“Look, I’m fucking tired. You want to discuss this? Do it during work. I have to meet up with my parents soon.” You share, which gives him a great idea.
“We can go together. We have to tell them eventually, and they for sure will want to know who the father is.” You swear that you’ve chosen to procreate with the dumbest human to ever walk this Earth when you hear this. You take a deep breath before you tell him,
“You’ve gone fucking insane… There’s no fucking way. First of all, they will immediately think the father is my ex-fiancé and I don’t plan on ruining their little daydreams.” You inform him, and you hear him sigh. This is worse than your work calls. Way worse.
“And you’re just going to let them live that fantasy… Until what? Until they ask Getou where your twins are at? Keeping them in the dark about all of this isn’t smart.” He tells you, and he swears that the very clever and smart boss he has been working under for some time has completely disappeared.
“Don’t act fucking smart with me, Kento. If you were smart you would’ve used a condom. You know what? Fucking kill yourself.” You’re clearly extremely irritated before you hang up the phone on him. It doesn’t really surprise Kento though, in fact, he finds himself amused.
Around thirty minutes after you told Kento to end his life, you called him to apologize and invite him to your parents house. He, of course, accepted and now you’re on your way to your parents’ house with Kento in the passenger seat and his daughter in the backseat. He couldn’t just leave the little girl in his mom’s house for an hour or so, he had to bring her along. It all makes everything so much more complicated for you, but you’re thinking of ways to explain this situation to your parents.
Awkward silence fills the car since you opted from playing any music. You hear as his daughter hums a tune to herself, playing with the doll that she brought. You feel the tension in the air, and the worst part is that you can’t say anything because his daughter is in the backseat, and what you have to say isn’t suitable for her ears.
Kento stares out the window, watching the repetitive landscape as you drive away from town. You had to pick him up, which adds fifteen more minutes to your drive. However, today you don’t really mind having to drive longer because you have to think everything through.
“Does she know?” You ask Kento, which catches him completely off guard. He has to think about what you just asked. No, she doesn’t know. He’s been dropping subtle hints to ease into it, but he hasn’t verbally told her.
“No, she doesn’t.” Kento responds, causing you to tense up. It makes you click your tongue against the roof of your mouth. You hold back on making the comment that goes through your mind, and you take a deep breath.
You don’t speak again for the rest of the car ride. Kento focuses on looking out the window, and he comes to the conclusion that you’re approaching the house as you begin to pass a stone wall. Although he dismisses the possibility because you drive for around two minutes in front of it, and the stone wall isn’t ending. Sure, you’re rich, but he doubts this is where your parents live. But you prove him wrong. You turn to be met by a gate, and you open it.
“You grew up here?” Kento questions, a bit shocked. But of course you did. However, somehow he feels… relieved. He won’t be able to give his daughter this life but with your help he’d give her something similar.
“Yeah.” You answer. Kento can’t believe his eyes as he sees how huge the place is. You park in front of the main house and exit the car, while Kento takes a moment to build his courage up.
“Okay, Asami. We’re here.” He informs his daughter, and she takes her seatbelt off and exits the car. Yet he can’t seem to leave his seat. It’s as if he’s glued to the seat. While he tries to exit the car, Asami walks to your side.
“What’s your name?” She asks, looking up at you in awe. You remind her of her doll and she’s intrigued. You look down at the little girl, trying your best to give her a smile but it comes off as insincere. The last thing you can do is put on a smile when you’re genuinely stressed. You tell her your name, and she says, “My name is Asami.”
“It’s really nice to meet you, Asami.” You tell her. You stop and look back at your car, only to realize Kento is still inside. You roll your eyes before looking at Asami, “How about we go on without him? He’ll find his way alone.”
“Okay.” She responds and begins to walk alongside you as you make your way to the front door. You get to the door and you unlock it. You allow Asami to walk inside first, and she takes a couple of steps to look inside the place, and her jaw drops. She gasps, “This is like a castle!”
You can’t help but chuckle, walking right behind her. You wish you could view the place like this. For as long as you could remember your plan was to get out of the house. “Hmm, is it?”
“Dad! I’m here!” You announce, hoping your voice is loud enough for him to hear. He’s most likely in the living room, doing whatever he does now that he’s retired. You want to walk there, but you know Kento is going to walk in and he won’t know where to walk.
“How do you know my daddy?” Asami asks while you two wait. You both wait for your dads. You hope Asami’s will be the one to show up first, but the coward seems to be attached to his seat.
“He works for me.” You answer. You reach into your purse to get your phone, about to call Kento and yell at him. Meanwhile you chat with Asami, “Is your daddy okay? He’s taking an awful long time to walk here.”
“I don’t know… He was going to go out with the neighbor lady today but he changed his mind.” She shares, making you raise your eyebrows. You know you had nothing to do with that decision though. You have a lot of questions, but you know asking his daughter isn’t the right thing.
“Have they gone out a lot?” You question which you regret the moment the words leave your lips. She ends up nodding. You purse your lips together, can’t help but think how that’s great for him. So so great.
He finally walks through the door, all the color drained from his face. And just as he steps into the place, your father walks over to you. There’s a smile on his face but it fades and a look of confusion takes over.
“Honey… I didn’t know you were inviting your secretary and…” Your father speaks, looking down at Asami.
“Dad, as you know, this is Kento Nanami. And this is his daughter, Asami.” You introduce them and he greets them. Of course, that doesn’t answer anything. “Before lunch can we have a private conversation with you?”
“Private as in…?” Your father questions. You doubt Kento wants his daughter to find out that she’s becoming a big sister right now out of all times. You won’t filter your announcement now of all times, and he’ll most likely want to protect his daughter’s ears from this.
“Can someone watch over Asami for a bit?” You ask, and he nods. While he gets someone, you look over at Kento who visibly gets worse. You sigh before you mutter, “It’ll be fine, Kento.”
You walk over to the living room and take a seat, while the two men figure out the situation with Asami. You throw your head back and close your eyes, allowing them to rest as you wait. You woke up way too early, sick. The whole entire morning you’ve been sick.
“What do you need to talk to me about?” You hear your father’s voice which causes you to open your eyes and sit up straight. You take a deep breath, watching as Kento takes a seat next to you, and your father in the armchair he usually sits on. “I don’t care for company issues. You should know that.”
“It’s not about that.” You tell him, which obviously doesn’t help his case of figuring things out. You exchange a look with Kento, who looks like he’s on the verge of passing out. Maybe this wouldn’t be so hard if your father wasn’t as powerful as he is.
“What is it about then? Why is Nanami with you?” Your father asks, getting visibly worried. “Now please don’t tell me you killed someone together and need help covering it up. I don’t have those types of connections anymore.”
“No. Quite the opposite… Dad, I’m pregnant.” You stumble over your words, but you finally spit out the confession. His eyes widen but a smile comes onto his face quickly. He stands up, walking over to you. He grabs your hands and pulls you up before he wraps his arms around you.
“Oh, honey, congratulations. I’m so happy for you.” He congratulates you, which you find awkward since you sincerely can’t feel the same way he does. He pulls away, a grin on his face before he asks, “I don’t get what Nanami has to do with this. Why did you bring him alon– Oh.”
“Yeah.” You say under your breath, looking away. “Kento is the father of my babies.”

When I was a young writer, I was told that I often started my sentences with "there is/there was/there are." I was told to eliminate those as much as possible.
I couldn't believe how often I used them. My first novel was completely littered with them.
I learned to diversify and grow my use of verbs. Instead of the state-of-being verbs, like "is" which isn't very descriptive at all, I started using stronger verbs.
Instead of writing "There were a bunch of trees on the hill" I wrote "A cluster of trees towered over the hill."
"Towered" is a much stronger verb than "Is"
Use the state-of-being words, but if you can, try replacing them with more active verbs. You might be surprised how much your writing improves.

bf nanami <<3333💕💕💕💕
it is never too late to start, you have been putting it off for a long time, you have a lot of information but you don't know how to apply it to your life.
ask yourself how would the best version of yourself act? what would the best version of yourself look like? what are the habits that your best version would have? what are the goals of your best version? what would you like to change to get closer to your best version?
2. take action
after knowing what you can do to improve, put it into practice now. some ideas.
start with new habits
be more organized and disciplined
be aware of your value
have a more positive mindset open to change
change your perspective on things
let go of what doesn't serve or benefit you
more self-love
surround yourself only with things that are good for you (also people)
change your internal dialogue to a more positive one.
start acting the way you would like to be, without fear.
3. feel, act and live like your best self
changing old patterns is not easy, but start doing it by replacing those old habits with ones that add to your life.don't live in the past anymore, start living your present, start acting and being the person you have always dreamed of being that doesn't mean you have to completely change your personality, it means you are improving your lifestyle and the way you perceive yourself and the world, you are changing your perspective to a much more positive one, you don't deserve to keep on living feeling bad about yourself and wishing you were someone else. you have the power to change.
4. create your personal signature
reconnect with the things that you love, inspire and make you feel you. create your personal signature, with your favorite scent (perfume and cream), makeup, clothing and accessories, likes and hobbies, your favorite places, everything that inspires you to be your best version.
but in the end, the first step begins when you start to become aware of your value and that you deserve everything you want.
It’s neither here, nor there, which is to say, it’s Wednesday.
Don’t let your fictional world be like Wednesday. Here are some prompts to help you think about what is and isn’t here (or there, as the case may be).
Worldbuilding Prompts:
1. In your story, what is the single most important natural resource? How is it obtained? What is it used for? How prominent is it in your narrative?
2. Is there magic? Where does it come from, and what are its range and costs? What impacts does it have on your story and characters?
3. How does your world differ physically from Earth? What is its shape, mass, chemical constitution? What is the calendrical cycle like? What about the seasons? Which of these aspects are important to your story?
4. What is the sociopolitical configuration and forces that are most important for your narrative? Which ones does your story center, and what does it leave in the background?
5. Are there non-human sentient beings? If so, what are their biologies and physical appearances? What makes them distinct? Do these distinctions matter socially?
6. Languages! Is your world monolingual or multilingual? Is there a lingua franca, and if so, whose is it? Is there language loss? How does language (and communication more broadly) come to play into your story?
7. What are the most important cultural customs your story deals with? Where do these customs come from, and have they changed their meaning over time?
8. What do people eat? What does it tell us about your world? Are there food restrictions or foods that, while edible, are not eaten for symbolic reasons? How does food factor into your narrative?
9. Love and marriage: is it a thing? What are romantic relations like across the board (if there are any)? What are family units like? How are children raised?
10. Religion & Divinity. What religious beliefs and practices exist in your story? What are their tenets? What role do their play in the narrative?
"You love me, don't you?"
"More than I've ever loved anyone."
"So can you trust me? For just this one moment."
September.
Here is something practical that you can do. This will help you let go of the outside world:
Treat this like an experiment.
Lay down or sit in a chair and be comfortable.
I want you to tell yourself this, or word it the way you want to, "I am allowed to completely let go of the outside world. I do not need to focus on others or what is happening out there. I only need to focus what is happening in here. If I feel satisfied in here, then I am. I will identify myself with my inner self. I no longer have to control the outside to but my inner. My desires are so easily achievable within myself. It brings me much relief knowing I can let the outside go, and only focus on changing myself. "
Say it once of a few times. Really focus on the relief you feel from not having to control the outside.
From here, imagine feeling satisfied or accomplished. Then ask yourself, "What would it feel like if I was who I wanted to be?" Then feel it, enjoy that feeling and know that you are NOW it. You do not need any more confirmation. That is final.
After you feel all of that, come out of contemplation and simply be neutral or feel more confident in yourself.
Only look within from here on out. Do not care about the outside. It will conform, even if it seems like it won't, it will. You will be in positions that will confirm what you have done. You will be in a position that will trigger your memory of what you have done within

Revision is a term we use when we’re rewriting or creating specific past events using manifestion. Revision isn’t only about changing people’s memories. It’s about ACTUALLY changing the past & how everyone views it.
Your past is formed by your assumptions about it. Revision is basically changing your assumptions about your past and hence overwriting it with your desired reality. It will then consequentially impact your future & change it.
𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐓 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐁𝐋𝐄?
When we speak about “past” or “future”, we are only talking about it in relation to the observer. In truth, nothing but the present actually exists as we are only experiencing consciousness for eternity. The past only exists in the form of assumptions in our memory. Whenever we think of the past, we become reaware of what happened and we strengthen our assumptions regarding it. We constantly relive it in our heads so much that we begin to feel it real. By doing this, we re-experience it in our consciousness.
As we know, persisting in any thought or assumption consistently makes it true. That’s why the 3D shows us ‘proof’ or ‘evidence’ of our past since we constantly re-experience it in our consciousness whenever we recall our past experiences. Therefore, if we chose to replace our negative assumptions about the past with those that will benefit us, the 3D will start reflecting the changed past as well.
If time isn’t real, so isn’t memory. Memory is simply imagination. So when we make assumptions off of our memories, we are making assumptions off of something that isn’t even real and can be changed extremely easily. It is important to understand that the past is as undetermined as our future. That’s why, it’s super helpful to always assume favourably for ourselves regardless of what happened and not spiral or lose faith when the 3D shows us the opposite of what we desire.
𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐄?
You can revise any event that has happened in your life. There are absolutely no limitations or logical restrictions. You are the Operant Power. Hence, you’re the one who decides what is possible in your reality. Here are a few examples of what you can revise:
A failed exam or a bad grade.
A loved one’s death.
Your childhood/teenage years.
Your relationship with your entire family or revise that you’ve always had different parents with your desired looks, background, personality, characteristics etc.
Any traumatic event or experience.
Looking like your favourite celebrity.
Your birthday / zodiac sign, birthplace and name.
𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐎 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐓?
Revision is simply a branch of manifestation. The way you revise an event is the same as what you do to manifest any of your desires.
The law of assumption in the simplest terms states that “your assumptions create your reality”. What you assume to be true is what forms your 3D reality. Now let’s look at the definition of an ‘assumption’: a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof. So how do you change an assumption? By simply accepting your desired reality as a fact regardless of what the 3D shows you. You assume that you already have what you desire and ignore everything that says otherwise. The instant you decide you want something, you have it. It’s undoubtedly yours.
𝐢. — You can start by rewriting the old story into a new, desired one. Let’s take an example:
Old story/assumption: “I failed my exams.”
New story/assumption: “I passed my exams with top grades.”
𝐢𝐢. — Henceforth, whenever you think of your situation, think of your past as if it happened in the way you desired. Disregard the old story and assume the new story is true. If a thought pops up that reminds you of the old story, dismiss it as false and reassure yourself that you already have what you desire. Using the same scenario mentioned above as an example, your new mindset should be something like this:
“Now, whenever I think of my exams, I know I’ve passed it with a perfect score. Despite what the external reality shows me and what people around me tell me, I live in my imagination and accept that fact that creation is finished. I am the version of myself who has always been the top student all my life.”
𝐢𝐢𝐢. — Persist in this new assumption & live in your imagination. Remember, you're not persisting to seek change in the 3D, you are persisting because change has already occurred (it is done) & you’re simply stepping into the mindset of the person who already has what you desire (what I am, I see).
Leave the 3D (your external physical, tangible reality) alone & accept your imagination (your assumptions) as your true reality. Don’t worry about the 3D conforming because it will. The 3D has no choice except to reflect your 4D (your inner imaginative reality). It has to because that’s the LAW and it can never fail. Keep thinking this way and your new assumption will surely harden into fact.
𝐀 𝐅𝐄𝐖 𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍:
You can use revision on the spot whenever the 3D shows you something unwanted. All you have to do is assume and affirm: “that didn't happen.” and persist in this assumption. You can also replay the scene in your head and replace it by visualising a more ideal one. Accept this new story as the truth and move on with your life.
If you spiralled during the day, just assume you didn't and affirm this: “I lived in my imagination the entire day and kept my thoughts in check perfectly.”
If you’re the type to look for evidence in the 3D, then revision can you directly change your physical reality as soon as you notice unpleasant circumstances.
Thank you for reading all the way. ♡♡ I’m rooting for you, loves. Please like, reblog & share my post with your friends if it has helped you !
so you’ve probably come to a point where you’ve over-consumed information, tried too many methods and they didn’t work, you’ve been manifesting the same thing for a long time and it’s just not happening. you feel like your head is too crowded, and you just need a new start with the law. it’s like you almost want to give up on the law and trust me i get it. a lot of people get it! so today ima help y’all finally stop bitching about all your failures and sobbing about how you can’t manifest this and that! y’all gon put y’all foot down, and FINALLY manifest your dream life!!!
chapter one: everything is just a manifestation of your thoughts + taking accountability for that + stepping out of the victim mentality
chapter two: confronting yourself about the law & the reason(s) you aren’t seeing results in the 3D
chapter three: simplifying the law by creating your own rules & limiting loa content (longest chapter**)
chapter four: outro
warning lots of tough love, it’s not personal <3

everything around you, until this very moment has been manifested by your thoughts!
as you probably know, the thoughts you think and dwell in create your reality; that’s a non negotiable. that includes the good, the bad, and the indifferent. and up until you discovered conscious manifesting, pretty much everything you’ve manifested was done unconsciously (aka the indifferent). i feel like i say this all the time, but everything literally starts with you, it’s always started w you & it forever will. remember? since your thoughts manifest.
take accountability for the fact that you’ve manifested everything present in your life.
taking accountability means taking responsibility for something you did, something usually wrong. in the loa community, taking accountability means realizing that your thoughts have created these circumstances. and it’s completely ok because you can think new thoughts and create something new for yourself. ik it can be tough being “ugly”, friendless, or whatever, but you made that assumption. and you’re keeping that assumption alive by always thinking it and always identifying with it. your thoughts can create and uncreate (revision), use that to your advantage. i don’t understand why y’all know thoughts create and keep thinking thoughts you don’t want to keep creating… i don’t.
step out of living with a victim mentality!!!
like i said, you manifested all of this for yourself. so stop crying and complaining about you can’t manifest, and nothing ever works for you. fucking stoppppp i do not want to hear that shit! nothin good has ever came from complaining and crying about all that’s wrong, you have to do something about it! because everything does work for you! maybe not in your favor but it does work. you say you can’t manifest, then you can’t. you say the void doesn’t work no matter how many times you try it, then that’s what’ll happen. do you see how you’re in control? why can’t you complain about good things then….? it makes absolutely ZERO sense to victimize yourself… just shut up and think new thoughts. i don’t understand. it’s not hard, you’re not an exception, you’re not too weak to manifest, it’s not fucking rocket science yall! stop victimizing yourself, it’s no help. you’re not a victim to the law, you’re the operant power!
𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐖𝐎 ˚ ༘♡
it’s time to finally confront yourself!
this might be emotional and uncomfortable to do (depending on your situation) but it has to get done! there’s clearly a reason as to why you’ve yet to see you’re manifestation in the 3D. it could be a number of things:
you keep reacting and dwelling in the 3D
you aren’t persisting as you should/giving up too early
you have a victim mentality and keep enabling it
you don’t think you’re worthy enough of your desires
you don’t apply the law to the best of your ability aka your half assing this shit lol
now, confronting yourself of this can be hard cause who wants to admit when they’re wrong right… lmao nah i’m playing😂😂 fr tho it can be challenging but like i said, it’s going to get done. so here’s my recommendation:
1. think about when you first discovered the law. how did you feel? was there a weight lifted off your shoulder? did you feel like you found the answer you’d been looking for all this time?
2. what do you want to manifest and why? in this case, you want to manifest your dream life. what don’t you like about the one you have now? what does your dream life even look like? compare the two. how will living your dream life make you feel?
3. why won’t you just change your thoughts & persist? why do you insist on dwelling in negative thoughts? why do you persist for 1 day then give up? why do you focus on time so much? why do you complain about everything wrong and do nothing about? answer these questions to yourself.
4. it may be uncomfortable completely changing your mindset because your ego is protecting you from what it doesn’t know yet. but think about the life you are depriving yourself of by not changing your mindset/thoughts, only to keep complaining.
𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄 ˚ ༘♡
making your own rules to simplify the law & cutting down on loa content
one person will say, “repeating your affirmations, won’t make your manifestation come faster, the belief will” and some will say “repetition in your affs is key, it saturates your mind w the new story” and these are both correct in their own way. but it’s about what you want to do, what you like better. (and that’s how y’all start complicating the law. you’re like “which do i do, everyone keeps saying the first one, but this one girl said the second one.” and then you start spiraling, so you go research some more and then you come across a new blogger who has a different approach to manifesting, so now you want try that….yeah it’s a whole cycle, i’ve been there) that’s also why being on tumblr all damn day is NOT beneficial. you will drive yourself crazy reading all these posts and opinions of different people. the law is the most subjective topic ever. nobody can determine SHIT for you. only you have the ability to do that.
whether you are just starting with the law, or you’ve been “trying” with the law, stop being so obsessed and dependent on every success story, every post, every bloggers opinion on your question. stop it. this is the best way to get confused. you just need to know the basics of the law:
1. decide what you want
2. affirm or know it’s yours
3. persist no matter what
and that’s it. any other question (regarding how the law works or the laws’ rules) you have, can be answered yourself.
“how long does it take before i see my results?” YOU tell me.
“does it matter when i affirm?” YOU tell me.
“can i change my appearance and make it seem like i’ve always looked that way?” i. do. not. know. YOU tell me!
“can i get my desires in less than 24 hours?” i personally can but that’s just me. so YOU tell me.
ima put manifestation to the side real quick. generally speaking, you cannot have a mind of your own or a life of your own, if it’s based off of what OTHER people think. that is then, not you. social media in general isn’t healthy because of its influences. we all know this. it can leave you feeling insecure seeing how others are living versus yourself. what they do in they’re life, who they interact with. and that can be very deteriorating to your mental.
same things goes for over consuming loa content. if you keep consuming info instead of applying, you’re gonna have so many different ways on how to go about manifesting, you gon be one lost ass mothafucka. trust.
get off of tumblr, and apply the law of assumption. when you get off of tumblr (or any loa infested platform) you start to figure out what works best for YOU, not sally, sammy, sarah, or susan. YOU!!!! bc you’re not always surrounded by everyone’s opinion. it’s about you & what you like. i cannot say this shit enough. you’ll come to your own realizations like “oh i prefer to think that living in the end is more beneficial than repeating affirmations” merely bc you weren’t influenced by everyone else. that’s why the law is so simple. bc it’s so subjective, you make it work how you want.
stop trying to feed into everyone’s personal assumptions about their personal loa journey.
i know some people who have never believed a single affirmation that came out their mouth and still got their manifestations. and i know people who don’t affirm at all and just make the decision that it’s theirs and still get their manifestations. because they made their rules according to what suits them best. you just have to persist.
the reason y’all complicate the law (and especially the void) is bc you don’t have your own rules, you have everyone else’s rules and it clearly ain’t working for you honey. i’m not gon lie, a lot of the rules in the loa can be contradicting to one another. that’s why you pick which you like best and stick to it (or ofc make your own). don’t use it for 2 minutes and 29 seconds & then see another rule and be like “this might work better” then switch. because like i said it’s very contradicting & not helpful.

outro :)))
so this post was longer than i intended but, i hope you all can take something away from this and finally apply the law to get your dream lives!! remember, everything lies within you. you have the power to wake up and repeat the same cycle or put your foot down and make a change. from this point forward, i don’t want to see asks about your circumstances that don’t matter, i don’t want to hear you’ve been persisting for 21 days and nothings happened. i don’t want see asks full of y’all deliberately victimizing yourselves. you know the basics of the law. either have control and apply it, or let it have control over you. it’s your choice.

a/n: I make no apologies, I made fun of Gojo a lot but I can't help making fun of the characters I kin ok...as you can tell I am unwell and clearly in love with one Nanami Kento. Please enjoy this purely self indulgent one shot that is just me ranting about how Nanami is the perfect man. n e ways- cw: some language and it eludes to sexual content, so you know the drill
"If you had to choose any sorcerer, who would it be?"
"Any sorcerer to what?"
"Like to date. If you had to choose," Gojo was leaning over the couch in the Jujutsu High lounge, wearing a smirk like he was confident in what your answer would be, "who would it be? And why is it me?"
You let out a laugh that's more mocking than genuine. "It would definitely not be you."
Gojo's jaw drops, like he can't believe it. For a very long time he's quiet - very unlike him - in utter disbelief. It had been a joke, but he was your best friend. If not him, then who? He needs to know.
Again, he asks. "So...who then?"
"Easy. Nanami."
"Nanami?!"
"Nanami."
"Why?"
"You're telling me you wouldn't date Nanami if given the opportunity?" You put your cellphone, giving up on the game you were playing seeing as Gojo was not going to let this go.
"That's not what I said." Gojo plops himself down at the opposite end of the couch, looking eager and ready for any new gossip he could wring out of you. "But I can't date myself, so therefore I would pick the next best option."
"He's definitely the best option."
"Respectfully disagree."
"That's fine." You shoot back. "Everyone is entitled to their wrong opinions. Especially you."
Gojo is once again silent. Until. "I hate you."
You can't help the chuckle that escapes.
"Why?!"
"Why what?"
"Don't be coy. Why Nanami?"
"I'm sorry," you give him a genuinely confused expression, "have you met the man? He's incredibly good looking, financially stable-"
"I'm also those things."
"Emotionally competent enough to hold a relationship for longer than three weeks-"
"That's...yeah ok, that's-"
"Is the type of man who gets along with both of your parents, so much so that they ask you every week when you're on the phone with them why the two of you aren't married or at the very least engaged yet-"
"This is getting very oddly specific."
"Radiates an aura that subtly screams 'I have a huge dick but I don't brag about it'"
"Clearly you've thought a lot about this."
"Somehow explains things without mansplaining them to you. Like if you were to ask him to explain how the stock market worked he would sit you down and make economics sound like the sexiest thing in the world while still remaining respectful."
"That's not fair. You know I'm bad at economics."
"I'm serious. He's like a total catch. Husband material. Dating isn't enough. If you date that man, it's endgame. He's already picked out the perfect ring and planned the entire honeymoon."
"Perfect is a strong word. Some would say it's too subjective even."
"He's the type of man to slow dance with you at 3 am in the kitchen of your upper class suburban home that he probably paid for in cash, while your two kids sleep soundly in their little bedrooms upstairs all tuckered out from your weekly family outing."
"Again. Very oddly specific."
"Face it, Gojo. Some men are just walking green flags." You stand and pat him on the shoulder, comforting him as he pouts. Clearly this wasn't the conversation he was hoping for. "But I have to get to my next class before my students get started without me, or Maki might accidentally give another kid a concussion. And I don't feel like explaining that to Yaga again."
Gojo waited until you were out of the room to huff in exasperation. "Psh. I'm a green flag."
"Yeah, if you're colorblind."
The sudden voice on the couch at the back of the room makes Gojo startle and jump in his seat.
Nanami lays just out of direct line of sight from the couch Gojo is sitting in, the one you were previously lounging on as well - so much so that Gojo has to lean over to see him lift the small folded towel from over his eyes.
This only sours Gojo's mood even more. "Well, I bet you're just so impressed with yourself right now."
Nanami lets the towel fall back over his eyes. "Don't feel bad Gojo," he can't contain his smirk, "not all of us can be husband material."
this has got to be my fav
safe and sound — nanami kento
summary: you have a nightmare
genre: fluff
warnings: none that i could think of! <3
***
nanami was standing in the kitchen, his tall frame hovering near the stove as he boiled water for tea - when the sound of the bedroom door opening brought him to his full senses. squinting, his honey-hazel eyes eyed the clock above the pantry door and confusion immediately creased his face. it was 11:30 pm, well past your regular bedtime. so why were you up?
nanami strained his ears as he heard your soft patters exit the bedroom and near the kitchen. did he wake you while he was trying to make tea? he never thought himself to be a loud person and he made sure he was quiet as possible so as to not wake you from your slumber. but given how tired he was, maybe he was a bit louder than normal...
“kento?” came your hesitant voice. nanami noted that it didn’t sound all that tired, but...scared and unsure.
“i’m right here, love,” nanami replied with assurance as he gazed over his shoulder to watch you round the corner. you looked tired, but something about your appearance was off. your hair was awkwardly ruffled and your eyes had a tint to them that indicated that you had been crying.
nanami pinched his brows at the sight. why had you been crying?
being careful to turn off the stove, nanami moved the kettle off the hot element before turning around and approaching your shuffling figure.
“what’s the matter, love?” nanami inquired gently as he brushed some hair away from your damp face. “is everything alright?”
you simply sighed, your head leaning into nanami’s touch as he continued to flatten your hair away from your face. your shaky arms soon found purchase by slipping around nanami’s solid waist as you leaned forward to rest you head against his chest; your head shaking side to side to show that you weren’t alright. “n-nightmare,” you managed to say into the fabric of his shirt.
nanami made a little oh sound and proceeded to press a small kiss to the crown of your head; his hands slipping from your hair to rest on either of your shoulders. you didn’t usually have nightmares, but when you did, they were bad.
“i woke up really scared,” you continued to mumble against nanami’s chest. “i was really scared and then you weren’t there.” you shook your head again and hugged nanami tighter.
oh, nanami felt horrible. he knew that you felt the safest and most comfortable when you were with him, and to wake up and not have him beside you when you needed him the most...he was finally able to articulate just how horrible you were feeling.
“i’m here now,” nanami assured gently, his hands drifting to run up and down your back. “you’re safe now and nothing is going to hurt you.”
“p-promise, kento?”
“i swear on it,” nanami replied with a small smile, his figure bending at the waist so that he could press another kiss to you’re forehead, and then to the tip of your nose, and then to both cheeks.
nanami kept peppering your face with featherlight kisses until you broke away with a smile and no longer a frown.
“kento, that tickles.” you mumbled with a grin as you wiped at the side of your face. even though you weren’t full on hugging him now, one of your hands loosely gripped his arm - showing nanami that you didn’t want to be left alone and needed someone to be with you to prove that you weren’t.
having forgotten his tea, nanami quietly lead you back to the bedroom where he tucked you in and made sure that you had enough blankets and pillows before slipping in beside you.
once you were both settled, nanami reached over to turn off the bedside light.
“wait,” you interjected, making nanami freeze. “can...can you read to me for a bit? i don’t want it to be dark yet.”
“of course,” nanami replied quietly before he reached for his book. as he did that, you shuffled over and looped an arm lazily across his waist as your head rested sideways against his chest. one your legs then shifted over to lay across both of nanami’s and you emitted a sigh of content as your body molded comfortably to the new position.
“okay.” you intoned happily, your sleepy voice a bit muffled due to your cheek being squished against nanami’s chest. “i’m ready.”
nanami laughed at that, and his chest vibrated with the golden sound. “alright, love,” nanami replied breathlessly before flipping his book open and finding the right page.
kento then read to you for a long time. he read until he was completely sure you had fallen asleep. the second he heard your little snores, he knew that you had succumbed to a heavy slumber and that was when he finally stopped reading and put his book down. he was awfully tired himself, so much so that he hadn’t bothered to turn out the light before shifting a little ways on his side, pulling you close, and closing his eyes.
you then mumbled something in your sleep and nanami started, scared you were having another nightmare. his golden eyes tracked quickly your face as it remained pressed against his chest; your features were relaxed and your lips emitted a simple, drowsy gibberish the did not understand. you were simply just sleep-talking.
“goodnight, love,” nanami murmured with a sigh of relief , his face splitting into a small smile as you muttered another undetectable word before nuzzling your face even closer to his chest, your smaller hand absently bunching up his shirt as if your body was afraid nanami was going to leave again.
but nanami would never leave. he may stray a short distance - but he would never fully leave your side.
because you were his. and he was yours.
until the end of time.
We don’t affirm to get desires. We don’t listen to subliminals to get desires. We do those to remind ourselves that we already have everything we desire. Keep in mind people.
bestie one sec,
whatever desire that came up first in your mind, is the one I’m talking about. got it? okay.
whatever that desire is, you’re about to receive it BITCH!! I am so serious!! 🧚🏾♀️🦄 I can see into the future obviously 🙄💅🏾 congratulations boo!!! cheers to you 💕
ꨄ I expect my desires to show up in less than three days
ꨄ I always seem to win
ꨄ Everyday I am living in my desired reality
ꨄ I am beyond blessed
ꨄ I have the best luck in the world
ꨄ I expect the best
ꨄ I am abundant with money, love and stability
ꨄ I never wait for anything
ꨄ I affirm for what I already have
ꨄ Daydreams are my current reality
do people use tumblr like twitter ....
no physical action is needed
If you came from law of attraction then you know that they push having to go out to meet an sp or getting a job to save and get more money etc. you know what I mean. Even people around you growing up preached such limiting beliefs like “you have to work hard for money” “you have to diet and work out to lose weight” “you have to get dating apps or go out and mingle to find a partner” “you can’t just sit and have everything handed to you forever” ALL OF THEM ARE LIES.
Obviously if you want to work for money go crazy. If you actually enjoy working out then do that. But the point is that none of that is necessary at all if you are not interested. If you’re like me and like to manifest out of thin air or overnight then you are at the right place. I didn’t change my diet, I didn’t change my skin care routine, I didn’t get a job, I didn’t go out to meet my boyfriend. None of that. I just affirmed (reminded myself) that I already am what I want to be and already have what I want and the 3d conformed.
Manifesting is so easy because we don’t have to take action. We don’t have to do anything we don’t want to do. Don’t think of the who, what, where, why’s and how’s!!!! It doesn’t matter. Why?? Because when you already have something you don’t think of when or where. You have it this second so no need to ask questions. I didn’t ask “well how will I get all the money” or “how long till I lose weight” I kept reminding myself “oh I have it all now duh”.
I made this tarot cheat sheet after being inspired on tiktok <3 I hope this can help anyone who needs it!
stop repeating your old story. stop focusing on the 3d. stop dwelling on what's happening around you. stop assuming you can't manifest.
the new story, the life you want, the desires you're trying to manifest, IT'S ALL ALREADY YOURS. it's all already happened. as soon as you think about it and see it in your 4d, that means you've made it real. that means you've started movement. you've started the process of it reflecting back in your 3d. but you are never going to see this reflection if you keep focusing on what is already in front of you, because that is ALL that you're going to keep seeing.
there is nothing you're 'trying' to manifest. again, as soon as you decide in the 4d that you want something, you've already made that desire real. your subconscious just hasn't reflected those assumptions back in your 3d yet, there for, you can't see it. but there are millions of things that you can't see, yet you still know it's there and it's real.
i'm in america right now, but just because i can't see europe right in front of me, doesn't mean i don't think it's real.
there's a car in my driveway, but just because i'm sitting in my bedroom and it's not directly in front of me, doesn't mean the car isn't really there.
the same concept applies to your desires.
you already have everything you want. as soon as you start telling yourself the new story in your 4d, and you start living solely in your mind, and pay no regard to the 3d, you will see those new assumptions reflect.
imagination creates reality.
stop holding yourself back. stop telling yourself there's no movement. stop telling yourself it won't manifest. stop telling yourself the 3d isn't going to change. when you do that, when you dwell on doubts, when you focus on what you can't see, you aren't giving your subconscious any chance to reflect the 4d into the 3d.
live in the end. feel at peace that it's done. be at ease that your desires are real. think as if you already have it, because you do.
there is nothing in this world that can stop your manifestation coming to you besides yourself - don't be your own cause of failure
